Silver Prices Are About to Fall

Plenty of silver with the base metal mining? We're in a silver shortage position and have been living off recycled silver, which can't go on forever, with more and more silver uses.

Until there's a dollar event? Good heavens--look at the dollar chart. This is the event. The dollar is sliding, sliding, sliding. That's an event.

And you trust the Fed to stop monetizing the debt? On what planet?

As for the Buffet bet on Burlington Northern, that's a bet on peak oil, not a bet on growth. It' a bet on diminished trucking and an interesting step at that.

Why China Still Loves Gold, Silver

Recusant--China will affect the gold price if it removes its production from international sales and doesn't export, as right now it exports and is the number one international producer of gold.

Fun day for gold and silver bulls.

Strong Portfolio Performance, But Murky Market Outlook Ahead

I hold CXG for nat gas. While it hasn't gone up, it has remained steady. Go figure. I do think nat gas will surprise everyone to the upside this fall and winter.

Glad will rise further and really looks nice today, along with lovely silver--about time, too.

Micromanaging the Price of Gold

Another analyst says it's a cup and handle. So, go figure. And today both gold and silver took a nice pop up. Up? Down? Sideways? Round and round we go...

Gold Manipulation Redux

I do believe what Ted Butler says--he's a great deal more knowledgeable than I and if he says the very concentration of the shorts in the silver market constitutes manipulation, I can only trust that it's true. The other thing is the amount of silver the shorts claim to hold--no way in hell do they hold that much.

Goldman had its best year ever last year--how interesting. Amid the utter chaos and trillions of dollars of losses by smaller investors. It's almost as if they knew someone at Treasury. And sometimes I think that J. P. Morgan might be the primary shareholder at the Fed. But, no. I'm simply a conspiracy theorist. Surely the Fed is an agency at work for the U.S. citizens. Say what I'm thinking ain't so, Joe.

Three Reasons to Invest in Yamana Gold

Not all is rosy at Yamana. Jim Puplava, an AUY stockholder, talks this week at his Financial Sense Newshour about recent asset sales there as being underpriced, which is why analysts have downgraded the stock. Check more deeply if you want to invest here.

Gold Miners Poised to Reap Profits

Gold and silver are the only viable options in the equation. Don't know who dangerbird is listening to. Silver is breaking out as well as gold. I hold SLW, Sabbina Silver, Impact Silver, GG, IAG, NAK and others with high potential. It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood.

Gold Stocks Not Driven by Larger Market

Smug? Not really. And I hold GG--have done for quite a long time and didn't buy anywhere near the top. I do believe in the stock, but I haven't made any money yet. So, smug? No. Someday soon, probably, but not yet.

Are We More Like 1932 - or 1923?

Yes. All true. Physical gold is good, too, and lots of good gold stocks are out there. Silver is nice as well and some say it will outperform.

Low Gold Price a Buying Opportunity

Since I read a lot of the analyses, I saw that gold ws headed down. This was confirmed by a drop due to the G20 though I think it's ridiculous to attribute it to pending IMF gold sales, which has been dragged out time and time again and is of minimal relevance, anyway. Most of the analysts suggesting gold might drop said to the 850 to 880 area. Some said as low as 700--you never know.

However, I think that when we hear a major life insurer has failed or is about to, or when we get some adverse news on commercial real estate the situation may change yet again.

Whatever. I'm not changing my own direction or my own gold holdings. This month is crucial and some folks say June.

Gold Breaks from Traditional Trading Versus Oil and USD, Looks Strong

Gold will certainly outperform for the year but many of the technical analysts expect a pullback to the $850 range before it shoots up to $1200. However, you never know what economic news will call gold to simply roll forward as we've seen before. That's why we had such a long period of consolidation this last year, in fact. It doesn't matter though. If you're long gold and don't need the liquidity, hold on.

As for ratio versus oil and the dollar, that is sometimes not the "traditional" ratio for periods of time.

And for silver, it is still way undervalued. It's a small market and quirky. Also dominated by a couple of gangster banks shorting it on the COMEX. Long-term--wow.

A lot of the analysts *are* now saying go for the stocks since they have underperformed and will perform extremely well in order to catch up--the badly beaten juniors included.

Metals and energy, ag and water are still the only investments to make since the market is expected to plummet again. And that's why we hold physical PMs, too.

Miners with Base Metal Exposure Stand to Benefit - Dundee Capital

Playfair--tungston--is up 120 percent today (I hold it). It was slaughtered last year, but has great potential in a metal that is necessary for civilization and in short supply.

Miners with Base Metal Exposure Stand to Benefit - Dundee Capital

Base metal basics are good. Mines take a long time to start up. If we recover and build worldwide, even if we don't grow much, the demand will be greater than supply for some of the metals.

I'm not looking for a recovery any time soon, but even so, we will need new supply. Same for oil/energy. We're in an anomoly that portends shortages because we're not encouraging exploration and development.

A Golden Investment in 2009 and Beyond

This will be the year of gold. Whether it will continue thereafter, who can say. But the miners are a buy. And silver. Ah, the wonder of silver, which is in short supply.

Wellington West Studies Eight Gold Equities, Picks Two Favorites

GG (I own a few shares) is excellent. But also, for what will be incredible multiples, look into the juniors. Once gold finally takes off, they will give great returns. Look for advanced projects, superior drill results, experienced and pricipled management. Look at projects underwritten by the big guys (NAK, for instance, which I hold). Look at some of the silver companies or just silver itself.
